Dayton 5GD68 Capacitor-Start/Run Motor 2 hp 115/208-230V 143TC Frame

SKU CH-P9P2-CTAS1

A 2 hp capacitor-start/run motor rated for 115/208-230 V AC at 60 Hz, 143TC frame, continuous duty, totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure with reversible CW/CCW rotation

  • typeClosed Base
  • 2 hp output powers demanding equipment
  • Capacitor-start/run design delivers strong starting torque
  • Dual-voltage 115/208-230V suits varied supplies
  • 143TC C-face mount simplifies direct coupling
  • Totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure resists contaminants

Application fit

The Dayton 5GD68 is a capacitor-start/run general-purpose motor rated at 2 hp and 450 RPM on a 143TC frame. It suits equipment builders and maintenance teams who need a single-phase, totally enclosed fan-cooled unit for continuous duty in ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees C.

Electrical and mounting checks

Verify that your supply can deliver 115 V or 208-230 V at 60 Hz and that the starter and wiring are sized for 19.5 A at the low voltage or 10.8 to 9.7 A at the high voltage. Confirm the driven load matches a C-face rigid-base mounting with clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation and that the 1.0 service factor covers the intended load profile.

Protection and compliance notes

The motor carries no built-in thermal protection, so external overload devices must be provided by the installer. Insulation class B and continuous duty rating support steady operation, while the Proposition 65 notices flag chemical-content warnings required for California markets.

Questions about this item

Does the motor ship with the capacitor and mounting hardware, or do I need to buy them separately?

The motor is supplied as a complete unit with its capacitor-start/run design built in; no separate capacitor or mounting kit is listed in the specifications.

Should I wire the 2 hp motor for 115 V or 208-230 V in my workshop?

The nameplate shows dual-voltage operation at 115 V or 208-230 V, drawing 19.5 A at the lower voltage and 10.8-9.7 A at the higher voltages, so choose the supply you have available.

What does the 450 RPM rating mean for a conveyor or fan load in daily use?

At 450 RPM the motor delivers its rated 2 hp continuously with a 1.0 service factor in ambients up to 40 °C, suitable for constant-speed drives on conveyors, fans or pumps.
